Team Fortress 2 Classic is coming to Steam with an open beta this month

For anyone who misses the simpler days of Team Fortress 2, before the endless stream of hats and the current bot infestation, some great news has just arrived. The development team behind the popular Team Fortress 2 Classic mod has announced that an open beta for its official Steam release will kick off on October 13th.

The two-week open beta, which coincides with the start of the next Steam Next Fest, will give players access to nearly all of the mod's exclusive content, including unique weapons, maps, and game modes. A major highlight will be the revamped support for the Four-Team mode, which adds green and yellow teams to the standard red vs. blue conflict.

While TF2 Classic has been available for years as a manual download, its move to the Steam platform is a huge step forward. It will make the mod far more accessible to a wider audience, removing the hassle of a complicated installation. The developers are eager to receive feedback from this new wave of players, stating that the beta presents a “great chance to cut through any sampling biases and see what newcomers think”.

The Team Fortress 2 Classic open beta will run from October 13th to October 27th. All you'll need to play is a copy of the free-to-play Team Fortress 2 installed on your system.
